The VMware View Connection server hosts the LDAP directory and keeps the
configuration information of the VMware View Desktop Pools, its associated virtual desktops, and VMware View. This data information can be replicated to other View Connection Replica servers. The Connection server also acts as a connection broker
that maintains the desktop assignment. It supports an SSL connection to the desktop
using RDP or PCoIP. It also supports RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication and smart card authentication.
